Shadowscope tweeted this story but hasn’t written anything on it. But frankly this is like crime blogger catnip. Drugged up thieving police groupie or angel with sticky fingers giving our boys in blue some much needed thanks? I guess the answer depends on what you do for a living … and whether or not your supervisor finds out.

From AJC:

A Cherokee County deputy stopped a 22-year-old woman for speeding and what he found was an unusual collection of police paraphernalia, gun holsters without  guns and stickers promoting support for law enforcement.

[…]

At the center of a seemingly routine traffic stop was a police groupie who “traded sex” to gain entry to  the law enforcement world, the arresting deputy wrote.

Nicole Bear, of Woodstock, was in the Cherokee County Jail Thursday on charges of impersonating an officer, drug possession and giving a false name. She also is charged with driving without a license and speeding; the report said she was driving the borrowed Chevrolet Tahoe at 67 mph in a 45 mph zone.

[…]

The deputy who pulled her over wrote in his report the facts were hard to find during the roadside stop near Woodstock last Saturday.

“The story changed in a confusing manner during the course of the discussion,” Deputy James Clement wrote in his report.

First, Bear said she was cop. Then she said he wasn’t a cop but wanted to be one, according to Clement’s report.

Bear claimed several names – Nicole Marie Roberts, Jenna Clements, Stephanie Clements and Jenna Jenkins.

Bear told the Cherokee deputy she  lived in Woodstock so she could run a nearby coffee shop. But she also said she commuted from Woodstock to Appling, about 160 miles away, to work for the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

“Columbia County didn’t know who she was and didn’t employ her,” Clement wrote in his report. “When confronted with that information, Ms. Bear said she didn’t go to the police academy because she was fired while working in the jail there [inColumbia County].”

Then Bear said she never got a job with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office; she failed during the hiring process.

But wait. It gets better:

While Cherokee County sorts out the information on Bear, the Cobb County Police Department and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office were conducting internal investigations to determine how she allegedly came into possession of some of their property – t-shirts, hats, shorts and a ticket book and citation holder.

She had a photograph of herself wearing a Cobb County police uniform, according to the report. The deputy said it appeared the photo was a reflection in a mirror and it was taken with the camera in a cell phone.

[…]

Clement also discovered a notebook issued by the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in which she had documented “numerous liaisons with many police officers from across Georgia,” Clement wrote. “These officers were named, listed with their departments and assignments, and there was even occasional reference to their patrol and personal vehicle descriptions. Notes reading ‘Jenna’ with invitations to call and text her cell phone abounded as did hotel/motel receipts.”

Deputy Clement said she had a list of “’goals’ as if the suspect was planning to try and ‘date’ officers in each one.”

Clement said Bear’s notes suggested she was a sexual predator” or a police “groupie.”

Oh the poor police officers stalked by a (semi) attractive “predator” who will perform sexual acts on them for a souvenir t-shirt. Is there no justice?

Call me a typical male but the biggest problem I see here is that she was getting high and speeding around like a moron. Yeah, my hard earned tax dollars shouldn’t be helping cops get some lovin’ (or get rid of a stalker) but I can live with it. I mean, as a happily married man I have had to deny many blog groupies the fulfillment of their dreams after they’ve become enamored with the image of Rob Taylor. I mean, have you read some of my essays? They’re intellectual aphrodisia! So I understand the necessity to hand some raven haired temptress a special edition Red Alerts jersey as consolation prize which is I’m sure how Nicole ended up with her car load of mementos.

Poor girl though. Had she been caught with a carload of blog swag she’d never have made the news. Just something to think about.
